ADVANCED SUPPLY CHAIN TRACKING TECHNOLOGY
General Device Operation
RM2TRACK-1-0 configuration shall be dependent upon the pallet’s end user. As
such the device configuration can be considered as a combination of:
Baseline functionality o Visibility of pallet movements (using LTE CAT-M and
BLE local area network) Optional features o Global visibility of pallet
movements (2G) o Integrity monitoring Shock / Tip events o Temperature
logging and alerts o Logging of shortstops o Locations of loading/unloading of
BLE tagged goods (and/or pallets) o Recovery A-GPS o Recovery BLE (long-
range)
Please Note : As Optional features’ are activated there is an additional demand on the battery, and therefore the operational life of the device is expected to reduce. For each optional feature, the power requirement shall be estimated to provide input to a Cost-Benefit-Analysis (CBA). **Baseline functionality** The RM2TRACK-1-0baseline functionality’ device configuration:
Report on Journey start
-
Based on B minutes of movement
[B shall be configurable, default value = 20 minutes] -
Each Journey start report shall contain a listing of visible pallet IDs
Report on Journey end
-
Based on C minutes of no movement (after movement)
[C shall be configurable, default value = 20 minutes] -
Each Journey start report shall contain a listing of visible pallet IDs, from the listing of visible, observed at Journey started.
Status reporting
-
If there has been no pallet journey for D days the RM2TRACK-1-0 shall send a report to confirm its location and operational status.
[D shall be configurable, default value = 7 days] -
A status report will attempt LTE CAT-M connectivity but then fall back to 2G upon LTE CAT-M connectivity failure.
Typical Operating Cycle
The RM2TRACK-1-0’s reporting cycle may vary depending on the use case, but it
is designed to be asleep for most of the time to preserve battery life. As
such a typical operating cycle can be characterized as:
Optional features
1. Global visibility
The RM2TRACK-1-0 has the ability for a 2G fallback. Usage of the device on the
2G network is expected to have a significant detrimental impact on the
battery. As such, it is expected that there shall be a device configuration
operation that allows operation on the 2G network.
When this option is set, reports on journey start/end will attempt to use 2G
if connectivity with LTE CAT-M fails.
2. Integrity monitoring Shock / Tip events
The RM2TRACK-1-0 has a single accelerometer. The accelerometer is used for
movement detection. Changes in the orientation can be observed and used to
communicate tip events. To detect Shock, the accelerometer must be configured
to sample at a faster rate. The monitoring for Shock / Tip can generate
significantly more data communications (and in turn use more of the battery).
As such, these events shall be a configuration option.
The device with Shock / Tip events enabled shall:
-
Report on Shock over-specified `G’ threshold
A report will be generated upon breach of the Shock threshold.
This shall be based upon the resultant value of Shock observed. -
Report on Tip over specified tip angle
A report will be generated upon breach of tip threshold. This shall be based upon the angle change observed between 10s sensor readings.
Please Note : The accuracy and consistency of the Shock value observed
shall depend upon the sample rate of the accelerometer.
3. Temperature logging and alerts
The RM2TRACK-1-0 has a NIST traceable temperature sensor. With temperature
monitoring enabled, the RM2TRACK-1-0 shall read this temperature sensor at a
predefined interval (every X seconds), and shall log the temperature (every Y
minutes) for communication upon its next report. Thresholds (both lower and
upper limits) for temperature can be assigned. If the temperature reading
exceeds one of these limits a report shall be communicated to enable immediate
action.
Please Note: The temperature observed in the pallet may require some
settling time before it is consistent with that of its environment.
4. Logging of shortstops
The RM2TRACK-1-0 can be configured to log Cellular and WiFi information
observed at shortstops (> S seconds) during the journey. The locations of
these `stops’ and their duration can be used to validate/identify routes,
traffic, and driving patterns. They will be reported back on the unit next
report.
5. Locations of loading/unloading of BLE tagged goods (and/or pallets)
The RM2TRACK-1-0 can be configured to enable BLE-tagged goods and other
RM2TRACK-1-0 enabled pallets to be read. This BLE read shall be based upon a
change in movement status from moving to stationary for Z seconds. As such,
after a journey has commenced, if there is a shortstop, after Z seconds the
RM2TRACK-1-0 shall monitor the presence of other RM2TRACK-1-0 devices
(pallets) and any BLE tags inserted in the goods.
A report will be generated if there is a change in the presence of messages
observed by the RM2TRACK1-0, which in turn can be used to validate locations
of loading/unloading.
Please Note: Initial release of RM2TRACK-1-0 production firmware shall
not include BLE broadcast messaging or BLE reception.
6. Recovery A-GPS
The RM2TRACK-1-0 can be configured using A-GPS for a location update. It is
expected that the use for A-GPS will be seldom, and only for recovery
purposes. It is acknowledged that the use of GPS will significantly reduce
battery life.
7. Recovery BLE (long-range)
The RM2TRACK-1-0 can be configured to activate a BLE (long-range) beacon every
T seconds for recovery purposes. Whilst sending its BLE (long-range) beacon
the RM2TRACK-1-0 will report every (T * N) second so that the beacon can be
turned back off. It is acknowledged that the use of a BLE long-range beacon
will significantly reduce battery life.
Please Note : Initial release of RM2TRACK-1-0 production firmware shall
not include BLE broadcast messaging or BLE reception.
8. Product Label
The product label can be found under the modem antenna. The label contains the
following information:
- Device ID The device ID is unique to each device and is used to locate and monitor the device via the LocoAware website. The barcode is an encoded version of the Device ID that can be scanned.
